Add a photoAs a kid, I was not a fan of cooked carrots, whereas I could have never enough of grated carrot salad.
Age helping, my palate is finally accepting cooked carrots, especially new ones or the red Kyoto variety.
Here is a simple French recipe for new carrots with a very long name:
Salade de carottes fanes tiedes, vinaigrette a la Fleur d’Oranger
In English: Young carrots with part of their leaf stems, served lukewarm with an Orange Flower Vinaigrette!

- Eau de Fleur dâOranger/Orange Flower Water: 3 tablespoons
- Fine salt and ground pepper
Directions
- -Heat 1 litre of water to boil in the bottom of your steamer.
